Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonFallStructureOpen Water/BasinWas just casting and swimming through scattered grass! Was able to get some bass to react to the sleeper!
SamohtauomBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationTough morning finding a pattern. Figured if they werent going to react to a jerkbait at this point, nothing else would make them bite. Thankfully the wind picked up and was able to find them over submerged grass. Fun Bite!

Was swimming the swimbait by docks and stumps and felt my rod twitch 2-3x! I set the hook and caught this big guy! Always a fun fight when you catch on a soft swimbait.

Lake Josephine has minimal structure and minimal cover. The lake is relatively shallow with the exception of a few deep holes in the S/SE corner. With the lake mostly consisting of sand, you need to cover a lot of water to find fish. I have found the slightest changes in depth/bottom composition will hold fish. Find coontail and lilypads and fish with jigs. This lake holds some big bass - you just need to work for them.
